engine casings

I dropped the engine casings off on the Saturday and was able to pick them back up the following Tuesday

Guzzi 1100 Sport partial strip down.

And everything has been a battle - partially and seized bolts, drilling out and helicoils of a few, swing arm pivot bearings that fought to stay in place as did trying to remove the drivebox from the swingarm, a UJ that needed levering from the gearbox shaft and even the blanking plate for the distributor hole had to be drifted upwards and then levered off. Even the cyl. head and base gaskets were reluctant to come off. The frame etc is now at the powder coaters and the casings with the vapour blasters.
